Islam commands istrib. Istibra means to completely get rid of the remaining drops of urine after urination. We know why it is ordered. To be pure. Its medical benefits were also discovered later.

Post-pee residue has been shown in many studies to cause urinary tract infections. In particular, in a study published in the journal Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease in 2015, this situation is scientifically proven . The larger the post-urinary residue, the more complicated the complication - bacterial infection. In this case, the development of bacteria is high.

According to a study in The Journal of Urology, a scientific journal of the American Urological Association, urinary tract infections are more severe in people who do not completely get rid of urine. Similar studies have been published in other journals.

Urinary tract infection is caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Enterobacter and Klebsiella species have also been identified. In the vernacular, these types of bacteria and some viruses are collectively called plague.

70-90% of urinary tract infections are caused by E. coli bacteria. This bacterium was discovered in 1895 and was described more fully in 1919. The bacterium E. coli is still used as the main model species in microbiology. I have also worked with these bacterial strains and published my research.

In conclusion...

So, we should be careful. An external plague can be treated, but an internal one is a difficult matter. In most cases, the plague inside a person goes to the grave with the person.
